Abstract
Beyond verbal exchanges, nursing communication frequently needs to address patients’ emotional and psychological needs, which calls for empathy and emotional sensitivity. To improve patient care and results, therapeutic relationships and nursing communication are encouraged. Through the alignment of self-awareness, emotional expression, and genuine interaction, the Satir Model can improve nurses’ capacity to emotionally connect with patients.
